Competing Liberalizations : Tariffs and Trade in the 21st Century

Bureau, Jean-Christophe - 2016

This paper proposes a unique overview of trade policies trends since the launch of the Doha Round, based on detailed data on tariffs and trade covering 130 countries. We show that regionalism has delivered limited effective liberalization so far, leading to only a 0.3 percentage point (p.p.) cut...

On the Widely Differing Effects of Free Trade Agreements : Lessons from Twenty Years of Trade Integration

Baier, Scott L. - 2016

We develop a novel two-stage methodology that allows us to study the empirical determinants of the ex post effects of past free trade agreements (FTAs) as well as obtain ex ante predictions for the effects of future FTAs. We first identify 908 unique estimates of the effects of FTAs on different...

Gains and Losses of India-China Trade Cooperation - A Gravity Model Impact Analysis

Bhattacharya, Swapan K.; Bhattacharyay, Biswa N. - 2021

As revealed by the trade intensity indices, India and the People's Republic of China have significant bilateral trade … losses in imports of both India and China due to different preferential trading arrangements and free-trade arrangements … using the gravity model. Empirical results show that in the short run India's potential gain is relatively lower compared to …

Heterogeneous Economic Integration Agreement Effects

Baier, Scott L. - 2015

Gravity equations have been used for more than 50 years to estimate ex post the partial effects of trade costs on international trade flows, and the well-known -- and traditionally presumed exogenous -- “trade-cost elasticity” plays a central role in computing general equilibrium trade-flow...

Global Gains from Trade Liberalization

Fan, Haichao - 2012

What has been the overall global welfare impact of the accession to the World Trade Organization of a large country like China, or the global welfare impact of the completion of the Uruguay round of GATT negotiations? Can we come up with a simple user-friendly formula to calculate the global...

China's Gains from WTO Accession : Imports versus Exports

Lai, Ting-Wei - 2016

We examine the gains from Chinese accession to the WTO. Using Arkolakis, Costinot, and Rodríguez-Clare (2012) we provide a new quantitative welfare measure by dividing the manufacturing sector into import and export sub-sectors. We then evaluate how the increased openness caused by China's...

The Elasticity of Trade : Estimates and Evidence

Simonovska, Ina - 2011

Quantitative results from a large class of international trade models depend critically on the elasticity of trade with respect to trade frictions. We develop a simulated method of moments estimator to estimate this elasticity from disaggregate price and trade-flow data using the Ricardian...

Free Trade Agreements and the Consolidation of Democracy

Liu, Xuepeng - 2013

We study the relationship between participation in free trade agreements (FTAs) and the sustainability of democracy. Our model shows that FTAs can critically reduce the incentive of authoritarian groups to seek power by destroying protectionist rents, thus making democracies last longer. This...

Tariff Liberalization and Trade Integration of Emerging Countries

Luca d'Agliano, Centro Studi - 2013

We investigate how tariff liberalization has affected exporting in emerging countries. We use a highly disaggregated bilateral measure of market access to compare tariffs applied in 1996 and 2006, which includes the timing of the Uruguay Round and episodes of bilateral liberalization. Our...
